Writing an application (2)  Formal language  Least adjectives  Least abbreviations  Logical progression  Description proportional to difficulty ‘After doing a degree in science, I PCR-cloned an entirely novel gene in MAPK signalling’

Writing an application (3) MANAGING RISK  Do not obscure, be honest  Give options  Be reasonable about extent of ‘downstream’ work and support requested  Be reasonable about timescale  Do not add experiments just because they are feasible  Maintain focus

Writing an application (4) YOU MUST ANSWER ALL 3 QUESTIONS Why this topic? Why me? Why my institution?
